Fox News reports that a new study links spray cleaners and air fresheners to one in seven cases of asthma in adults.

Researchers say that just spraying a cleaner once a week can trigger an asthma attack, but more frequent use increases the risk of asthma.

"Frequent use of household cleaning sprays may be an important risk factor for adult asthma," says Jan-Paul Zock, of the Municipal Institute of Medical Research in Barcelona, Spain. "The relative risk rates of developing adult asthma in relation to exposure to cleaning products could account for as much as 15 percent, or one in seven, of adult asthma cases."

Furniture sprays, glass cleaners, and air freshener sprays are associated with the highest risk of asthma. It comes as no surprise that people who clean for a living have an increased incidence of asthma.

Instead of harsh chemicals, clean your home with a safe alternative: M-1 House Wash All Purpose Cleaner. or, if you must use spray cleaners, always wear a mask.

If you want to freshen your air, don't poison it with chemicals! Air out your house by opening doors and windows, or clean your air with a HEPA air purifier.
